Hold Fast Hope (Live At The House of Blues) - Thrice

How can you be sleeping?

Waves like weapons crash

O'er us, cry for mercy

And hold fast hope

Hope

Who of us is cursed, or do we have to ask?

Search your souls and hold fast

If no one speaks a word, then let the lots be cast

Truth be told and hold fast

White death wakes in black skies

Mark your maker's wrath

Fear and flames of azure

Climb the crooked mast

You will yet be baptized

Steeped in shattered glass

Sink and sing your answer

And hold fast

As strong arms grip your shoulders

Like dead hands of your past

Pray as you're tossed over

This breath could be your last

Quiet and cold

Silent and slow

Night black as coal

Miles here below

Find your faith and dive deep

Through living gateways pass

Lined with death and ivory

And hold fast, hold fast

Deep beneath the black dawn

Leagues from lightning's flash

Ribs will raise cathedrals

For the morning mass

Steel yourself in sackcloth

Roll your heart in ash

Scrape your skin with steel wool

And hold fast

Ribs will raise cathedrals

For the morning mass

Scrape your skin with steel wool

Cross your heart and hold fast hope

Hold fast hope

Hold fast hope.
